WLB is there in a lot of orgs if that is what you want.
I've had a good experience, but obviously not everyone will be as lucky. It depends on the organisation and managers.
Microsoft likes to think they are FANG, but they don't pay as well. The 4-year cliff is real and the primary reason I'm leaving.
D&I is generally good, but it can get a little silly sometimes with groupthink.
As a high performer at Microsoft, after 4 years going from L59 to L63, I can earn ~200-230K.
I can earn much more at Google, Facebook, or Amazon.
I want to stay at Microsoft, but there is a 100K+ difference. I'm not a mercenary, but that is a lot of money.
Fix compensation, at least for high performers.
